Jokey-Oke

Sure, all your buddies think youre funny on Friday nights when youre stumbling through Himmarshee. That dance you do? Bah-ha! Your Chris Rock impressions? Hilarious! But try standing up in front of a tough crowd of strangers  who are "having a case of the Mondays, no less. Mondays the challenge  the night you really need to know how to tell a friggin joke if want to score laughs. Check out South Shores Tavern (502 Lucerne Ave, Lake Worth) at 8 p.m., when Hemp hosts open mic comedy. Heres a tip: if youre going to bomb, bomb hard. Because theres a karaoke-esque quality attached to open mic comedy; the audience is going to enjoy people at the worst end of the spectrum as much as they enjoy the best. Either way, its good practice for Fridays. Call 561-547-7656, or visit southshorestavern.com
Mondays, 8 p.m. Starts: Oct. 19. Continues through March 29, 2009
